Metals One (MET1) has appointed of Fairfax Partners Inc., a boutique investor relations firm, to enhance the company's international communications and investor outreach.
Fairfax will be supporting Metals One with tailored investor engagement and communications designed to enhance international visibility and ensure consistent, high-quality communication with the investment community.
Following a recent fundraising, Metals One continues to advance its portfolio of critical minerals exploration and development assets in Scandinavia.
"At Metals One we are seeing a notable increase in interest in our Company from investors outside the UK who evidently recognise the opportunity to support Europe's electrification by discovering and developing new sources of critical metals within the continent,” said Jonathan Owen, chief executive of Metals One.
“Europe is facing an urgent need for responsibly sourced critical metals such as copper, nickel, cobalt, and zinc and is implementing policy to encourage the development of raw materials within the EU. Our high impact projects in low-risk jurisdictions are ideally positioned to supply European manufacturers. We look forward to working with Fairfax Partners to broaden investor awareness of our opportunity to advance our current copper and nickel projects and diversify our commodity base and footprint through opportunistic acquisitions that may include gold and defence minerals projects."

Metals One has recently taken a more aggressive stance towards dealmaking, following the fundraise that was initiated at the start of the year. The appointment of Fairfax will help streamline the company’s messaging as it negotiates its way through a tough market.
